Description I know most of you will recognize this one. I drew this horse as a unicorn, you can still find the original in the back of my gallery. But I was never quite happy with the horn and decided he would look a lot better without it! I finally got Photoshop and was able to get rid of the horn. And I must say, for a first time Photoshop job I think I did very well!
Now he looks like the beautiful Andalusian he is. The original photograph is one of Robert Vavra.

And I found this link that all Andalusian lovers might appreciate: [link]
It's a very elaborate site on the Andalusian, the conformation, colours and colour genetics (for everyone who was infatuated with the chestnut Andy drawing!), showing of Andalusians and a lot more. Also some very very very handsome horses for sale. But all were way to expensive for me! Great inspiration for drawings thought.

Enjoy!

Coloured pencils, 20x30 cm.

Hauntingly beautiful! The purple backdrop really sets off the grey horse.

The softness and gentleness of the entire piece is soothing. I really like the way you've colored the mane. Something you do a lot that I really enjoy is all the little details, like the wrinkles on the back of the ear and the sweet eyelashes.

Yes, I think details like that can really finish a piece and add to the realism. I like doing it. Nice to hear its noticed!

You're right, I really did enjoy that website.

You did a really good job with photoshop. Did you use the stamp button? Because the grain of the paper looks flawless.

LindaColijn In reply to michiruokami [2006-11-10 18:42:28 +0000 UTC]

Great site isnt it? I was glad I discovered it.
Yes, I think I did use the stamp tool, would have to look it up to be sure! But it worked great.

Thank you. Purple is my favourite color so I thought it had to be combined with a beautiful Andalusian.
